With each new upgrades for devices used in daily life, humankind is becoming more careless every day. This is not only harming the lifestyle but also the devices used on a daily basis. Water or other liquids, electrical fluctuations, virus attacks, device malfunctions, software failures and many other adverse events can damage the device and its data storage. Very often people keep their crucial documents, personal photographs and videos, messages and software without any backup. So if it gets lost, there is no way to get these back. This circumstance has led towards a new type of business. Data recovery in Southampton and many other areas of London are a growing business. In this business model, the storage devices are divided into two categories, Mobile devices like cell phones, laptops, external hard drives, flash drives, etc. and Non-mobile devices, they include desktop computers, servers, etc. Depending on the volume of data to be retrieved or the size of memory space the service charges are set after estimations. Flash drives, SSD and Micro-SD cards often needed two types of recovery demands. They are “Delete Recovery” and “Format Recovery”. These devices are built to last, so they are not quickly damaged by liquids or electrical disturbances. These small-scale storage units are made for short time data storage with reusable capability. But, the retrieval services are often required when someone mistakenly formats the drives or, delete all or specific files. The Data recovery agencies in Southampton and other areas follow the multi-staged retrieval process. At first, they run various diagnoses over a storage unit to verify that data can be retrieved from it. Then it is attached to a high-end computer with an upgraded recovery software. It reconstructs all the files from its FAT or NTFS systems. This is a very delicate process. One mistake can ruin the whole drive or reduce the chances of future use. If the software does not fulfil the expected results, the alternative process involving different types of hardware are introduced. In this step, different hardware tools of forensic computing are used. These devices create an image of the stored files in the damaged drive and project them to an empty drive. All the data which were stored in the damaged disk are transferred to the new disk. In this way, data can be obtained even from a corrupted password protected storage unit. These agencies are also providing free estimations and “No payment policy” if no data is recovered.
